Photograph of side and front view of Byron's hot dog building and signage on Irving Park Road.Context
Byron’s on Irving Park (1987) shows an one of the city’s signature hot dog stands, which the artist describes as “iconic holdouts of naive charm.” The historical and documentary aspect of Carroll’s photographs resonate with the work by photographer Lee Balterman, who captured the spirit of the Midwest in black and white images of sports heroes, jazz musicians, and salt of the earth Chicagoans.Acquisition
